BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed to a new class of fluorocarbon derivatives and to their application to textiles, paper, and like fibrous materials to produce oiland water-repellent products.

Various fluorochemicals have heretofore been employed in the treatment of textiles and paper to impart thereto oiland water-repellency properties. In general, these fluorochemicals are composed of a fluorinated alkyl chain afiixed to an active functional group. The oleophobic and hydrophobic properties of the fluorochemicals are attributed, at least in part, to the inherent low surface energy of the fluorinated surface provided by the fluorinated alkyl chain. The portion of the molecule to which the fluorinated alkyl chain is afiixed provides the physical and chemical bond between the fluorinated alkyl chain and the substrate surface. The bond not only influences the degree of orientation and packing of the fluorinated groups of the fluorinated alkyl chain, and hence, the oiland Water-repellency properties of the fluorochemical, but also determines the durability of the oleophobic and hydrophobic properties when the treated substrate surface is exposed to repeated laundering and dry cleaning treatments. A high degree of durability of oleophobic and hydrophobic properties is highly desirable for obvious reasons.

Also, the portion of the molecule to which the fluorinated alkyl chain is affixed determines, in part, the solubility characteristics of these fluorochemicals. In commercial practice, oiland water repellency agents are applied to the substrate in diluted form from a liquid medium which, for reasons of economy, is preferably an aqueous medium. Most known fluorochemical repellency agents, however, are insoluble in water, and for that reason cannot be applied from an aqueous solution, but must be applied from aqueous emulsions. Such emulsions,

ice

however, have a tendency to coagulate when subjected to shearing action. This can be extremely troublesome when these repellents are applied to textiles in a padding bath wherein the shearing action of the squeeze rolls can cause coagulation of the repellent. Coagulated repellent sticks to the rolls and eventually is picked up by the fabric, causing streaks and spots. This, of course, cannot happen when the repellent is soluble or dispersible in water. For these and other reasons Water solubiilty or Water dispersibility is a highly desirable property in repellency agents.

Further, the portion of the molecule to which the fluorinated alkyl chain is aflixed determines, at least in part the type of catalyst, e.g. acid or base catalyst, if any, that may suitably be employed to effect bonding of the repellent to the substrates, particularly cellnlosic sub strates. Cellulosic fabrics, in addition to repellency treatment, are often subjected to various other treatments enhancing their properties, such as permanent press treatments and wrinkle-resistance treatments. These other treatments commonly involve use of acidic or basic catalysts and/or reagents. Fluorochemical repellents which are responsive to both acidic ac well as basic catalysts provide for flexibiilty in application in that they are compatible with other treatments involving both acidic or basic conditions. For these and other reasons favorable response to both acidic as well as basic catalysts is a highly desirable property in repellency agents.

Accordingly, one object of the present invention is the provision of novel fluorocarbon derivatives.

It is another object of the present invention to provide water soluble or water dispersible repellency agents suitable for treating textiles, paper and like fibrous materials, in particular cellulosic materials, to impart thereto hydrophobic and/ or oleophobic properties.

A further object is the provision of water soluble or water dispersible repellency agents suitable for bonding to cellulosic materials, using both acidic and basic catalysts to impart thereto hydrophobic and/or oleophobic properties.

A still further object is the provision of textile and paper materials treated with the fluorocarbon derivatives of the present invention.

An additional object is the provision of cellulosic materials chemically modified with the novel fluorocarbon derivatives of the present invention.

These and other objects will become apparent from the following description.

The fluorinated polyamide reactant of Formula IV, above, may be prepared by simply mixing the fluorinecontaining carboxylic acid reactant with the polyalkyl ene polyamine reactant. These reactants may be charged in a molar proportion of 1 mol of polyalkylene polyamine reactant to about 0.5 to 7 mols of fluorine-containing carboxylic acid reactant. If desired, the reaction may be carried out in the presence of a suitable inert organic solvent. Suitable reaction temperatures range between about 0 C. to about 200 C. Upon conclusion of the reaction, the desired fluorinated polyamide may be recovered from the reaction mixture by methods known to those skilled in the art.

The fluorinated polyamide obtained as a result of the reaction of the fluorine-containing carboxylic acid reactant with the polyalkylene polyamine reactant above described, may comprise a single compound conforming to 7 Formula IV, above, a mixture of isomers thereof or a reaction mass composed of amide products containing two or more amide functions. The resulting fluorinated polyamide is suitable without further purification for reaction with the vinyl sulfone reactant of Formula HI, above, to

10 yield the divinyl sulfone adduct reactant of Formula II, above. However, if desired, the fluorinated polyamide may be further purified prior to reaction with the vinyl sulfone reactant as by distillation or recrystallization.

The divinyl sulfone adduct reactant of Formula II above, may be prepared by heating a mixture of the sulfone reactant of Formula III above, with the fluorinated polyamide above-described. These reactants may be charged in a mol proportion of 1 mol of fluorinated polyamide to about 1 to 10 mols of sulfone reactant. The reaction temperature and time are dependent upon the particular fluorinated polyamide and sulfone reactants involved. The temperature ranges from about 25 C. to 160 C., and the time ranges from about /2 to 4 hours. If desired, the reaction may be conducted in the presence of an inert organic solvent. The resulting divinyl sulfone adduct may be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional methods.

The novel fluorinated quaternary ammonium salts of the present invention may be prepared by simply mixing the divinyl sulfone adduct reactant with the heterocyclic tertiary amine salt of a salt-forming acid, or alternatively, by mixing the divinyl sulfone adduct reactant with the heterocyclic tertiary amine and the salt-forming acid. These reactions are preferably carried out in the presence of a suitable inert organic solvent. These reactants may be charged in a molar proportion of 1 mol of divinyl sulfone adduct reactant to about 1 to 15, preferably about 5 to 10 mols of heterocyclic tertiary amine salt reactant. When the heterocyclic tertiary amine and the salt-forming acid are charged separately, then it is preferred to employ a slight excess of the heterocyclic tertiary amine, say between about 1.1 to 1.8 mols of heterocyclic tertiary amine per mol of salt-forming acid. The reaction temperature and time are dependent upon the particular divinyl sulfone and heterocyclic tertiary amine salt reactants involved. The temperature varies from about 25 C. to C., preferably about 50 C. to 75 C., and the time ranges from about 5 minutes to about 24 hours.

The reaction is preferably conducted in the presence of an inert organic solvent or solvent mixture. The lower aliphatic ketones and alcohols are exemplary of suitable inert organic solvents. When a solvent is employed, the maximum temperature is limited only by the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. Although the reaction may be conducted at superatmospheric pressure, it is preferred to conduct the reaction at atmospheric pressure.

If desired, the reaction may be carried out in the presence of a tertiary aliphatic amine catalyst. Exemplary suitable tertiary aliphatic amine catalysts are triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, and the like. Triethylamine is a preferred catalyst. The tertiary aliphatic amine catalyst, if one is employed, is used in amount of between about 0.1% and about 1.0% of the combined weight of the reaction mixture.

Upon completion of the reaction, the sought-for fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt product may be recovered from the reaction mixture by evaporation of solvent therefrom to obtain the crude product as the residue, or by cooling the mixture to precipitate the product which may then be recovered by filtration.

The product thus obtained is suitable for use as oiland Water-repellency agent without further purification. However, if desired, the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt so produced may be further purified prior to use, as by recrystallization using any commonly employed inert organic solvent, such as acetonitrile, ethanol or isopropanol.

21 then be cured at an elevated temperature. The concentration of the oiland water-repellent compound on the treated article generally may vary from about 0.5% to 20%, preferably 1.0% to 10.0%, based on the weight of the article. Since the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salts of the present invention are soluble or dispersible in water, they are preferably applied from an aqueous solution or an aqueous dispersion, although, if desired, any organic liquid inert to the article to be treated and capable of dissolving or dispersing the requisite amount of oiland water-repellency agent may be employed. Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile and dimethylformamide are illustrative organic liquids which may be used in preparing oiland Water-repellent compositions comprising fiuorinated quaternary ammonium salts of the present invention.

The solvent or dispersant may be evaporated by air drying at room temperature. If it is desired to cure the treated articles the solvent or dispersant may be evaporated prior to curing or during curing of the oiland water-repellent chemical onto the articles. Preferably, the article treated with a solution or dispersion of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt is air dried prior to curing for a time sufficient to evaporate essentially all of the solvent or dispersant. Thereafter, the article having on its surface the oiland water-repellent chemical is cured or heat-set at a temperature of about 100 C. to 160 C. for a time period varying inversely with the temperature, ranging from about 1 second to 5 minutes.

When cellulosic textile materials are to be rendered oiland water-repellent, the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salts of the present invention are preferably applied thereto from an aqueous solution or an aqueous dispersion and in the presence of a catalyst of the type commonly used as crosslinking catalyst for crosslinking resins with cellulose materials. The fluorinated quaternary ammonium salts of the present invention respond well to both basic and acidic catalysts, thus offer the decided advantage that their application is compatible with permanent press treatment of textiles, which treatment commonly employs acidic reactants and/or catalysts. The cellulosic textile material is moistened with an aqueous solution of the catalyst, air dried to remove residual water and then impregnated with an aqueous solution or dispersion of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt of the invention for a time, normally 30 seconds to about 30 minutes, sufficient to retain on the cellulosic textile material about 1 to 20%, preferably 2 to 8% of the oiland water-repellency agent, based on the weight of the cellulosic textile material. The thusly impregnated cellulosic textile material is then heated at a temperature of 100 C. to 165 C. for a time period varying inversely with the temperature ranging from about minutes to 30 seconds. After the reaction of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt with the cellulosic textile material is complete, the chemically modified cellulosic textile material is washed free of excess catalyst with water and dried.

Various modifications of the above-described treatment may also be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the cellulosic textile material may be first impregnated with an aqueous solution or dispersion of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt, then treated with an aqueous solution of the catalyst, air dried and finally heated to effect reaction of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt with the cellulosic material. Another modification of the above-described procedure involves premixing the aqueous solution or dispersion of the fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt together with the catalyst prior to impregna tion of the cellulosic textile material.

Chemical modification of cellulosic material under anhydrous conditions, as in the presence of solvents capable of penetrating cellulosic fibers such as benzene, chloroform, dioxane and acetone, constitutes still another variation of the afore-described procedures.

In general, suitable basic catalyst should have a dissociation constant in water of at least l.8 l0 at 25 C. Phosphates, carbonates and hydroxides of alkali metals such as sodium phosphate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; alkaline-earth metal hydroxides including calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide; and quaternary ammonium hydroxides such as tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide and benzyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide are illustrative of preferred effective basic catalysts. Suitable acid catalysts are the mineral acids and strong organic acids, as well as the ammonium salts, amine salts and metal salts of strong acids. The salts of strong acids are preferred acid catalyst, ammonium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc nitrate and zinc chloride being specific examples of preferred acid catalysts. The catalyst concentration is normally depend- I ent upon the strength of the acid or base selected, speed of reaction desired and the nature of the cellulosic material to be treated. In general, catalyst concentrations of about 1 to 20%, preferably 2 to 5%, based on the weight of the solution are satisfactory.

Results of tests relating to the evaluation of a typical fluorocarbon derivative compositions of the present invention as oiland water-repllency agent on textiles are shown below.

The procedure employed in determining the oil-repellency ratings on textiles is described, for example, on pages 323-4 of the April 1962 edition of the Textile Research Journal. This procedure involves gently placing on the treated fabric drops of mixtures of mineral oil (Nujol) and n-heptane in varying proportions. The drops are allowed to stand on the treated fabric undisturbed for 3 minutes. After the 3 minute time period the wetting and penetration of the fabric is visually observed. Referring to following Table I, the number corresponding to the mixture containing the highest percentage of heptane which does not penetrate or wet the fabric is considered to be the oil-repllency rating of the treated fabric.

When typical oily staining materials are dropped onto treated fabrics and subsequently blotted off, those fabrics with an oil-repllency rating of 50-70 will exhibit only fair resistance to staining; those fabrics with an oil-repellency rating of -90 will have good resistance to staining; and those with an oil-repellency rating of 100 and up will give excellent resistance.

Hydrophobic properties of the treated cloth were determined by Method 22-1961 of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists which is described, for example, on pages 152-153 of the Technical Manual and Yearbook of that association for the year 1961. It is to be noted that this method provides for no interpolation of results which are reported as one of the Standard Spray Test ratings which are the six ratings 0, 50, 70, 80, and 100.

Wash fastness of the treated cloth was determined by subjecting the cloth to repeated launderings in hot water in a household automatic washing machine using a heavy duty detergent, followed by drying in an automatic household drier. The material was ironed prior to testing.

The results obtained are set forth in Table II below.

The specimens were wrung and dried at 85 C. for 10 minutes. The specimens were then impregnated by total immersion for 10 minutes in individual portions of the 4% aqueous repellency agent solution, described above, were dried at 85 C. for 10 minutes and were then cured at 150 C. for a 5 minute period. The s ecimens were then gently rinsed m cold water, redried at 85 C. for 10 minutes, ironed, and conditioned at 507fR.H. The specimens were weighed to determine loading and were then subjected to the initial 011- and water-repelleney tests. After each laundering and before each subsequent repellency test, the specimens were again ironed and conditioned at 50% RH.

The repellent may be added to the furnish neat or in form of its solution or suspension in water or one of the above-described solvents or dispersants.

If desired, the repellent may be added to the furnish together with any of the usual additives, such as fillers, e.g. kaolin, China clay, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide; sizes, e.g. rosin, hydrocarbon and natural waxes, natural gums, starches, casein, asphalt emulsions, synthetic resins, cellulose derivatives; coloring matter, e.g. dyes and pigments; and alum.

Preparation of the paper from the furnish to which the repellent has been added, as described above, follows conventional paper making procedure.

Oil-repellency tests on paper specimens rendered oilrepellent by both external and internal treatment with an illustrative fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt of the present invention are described below.

The procedure employed in determining the oil-repellency ratings on paper is described, for example, in a Technical Bulletin issued by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company entitled, Paper Chemical FC- 805-IV. Properties of Treated Paper-C. Oil Resistance-2..Comparative Kit Test. This procedure involves gently placing on treated paper drops of mixtures of castor oil, toluene and heptane in varying proportions. The drops are allowed to stand on the treated paper undisturbed for 15 seconds. After the 15-second period, the wetting and penetration of the paper is visually observed. Failure is detected by pronounced darkening caused by penetration. The darkening of even a small portion of the area under the drop is considered failure. The number corresponding to the mixture containing the highest percentage of heptane which does not penetrate or wet the paper is the Kit Number of the paper and is considered Papers having a Kit Number of about 5-6 or below will exhibit only fair oil-repellency; those papers having a Kit Number of 8-10 will have good oil-repellency; and those having a Kit Number of 10 or above will have excellent oil-repellency.
